Krobo powder glass beads

Описание к видео Krobo powder glass beads

The Krobo of Ghana are famous for their glass beads. Krobo women treasure their bead collections and might give one away as a special gift, but would never consider selling it. Fortunately the beads are being made in many workshops, so you can buy them for yourself. The technique looks deceptively easy, but to be a master bead maker takes several years of apprenticeship. As with many traditional crafts, new ways of producing are creeping in. Clear beads and painted beads are not traditional. Video clips courtesy of Marcy Prager.
